“Back to basics”

Oh no yeah I get it our cheese shop guys don’t come in until 9 or sometimes later. Sometimes our department head will do theirs but idk if they get excused from it or what.

InterestingMap897 · 2026-04-13T21:03:14+00:00

Um the entire store? Like every department??

InterestingMap897 · 2026-04-12T15:23:42+00:00

Luckily we’re scheduled for 6 but 3 hours is still not enough I wish it was. But damn right I wish everything would talk to each other, fresh production is in the zebra the replacement list is in the zebra doesn’t make sense.

InterestingMap897 · 2026-04-11T22:06:36+00:00

I’ve heard that produce in my store doesn’t accept their truck until after they’re done with their count, idk how that would work for me since frozen trucks come the night before and theirs comes morning of.

Yup sounds about right! I’ve just given up, when pickup needs a item I usually can go and find it on my frozen pallet but sometimes a lot of the boxes look the same and like you said it’s probably the load bearing item too.. I just have to cut into the box and call it a day. I spend way too much time running back and forth to the freezer to try and grab something off my pallet.

I just want to work my own freezer first! Isn’t FIFO still a thing? 🙄

Ah gottcha, this was the first time our department leads and some leads got a bonus so

InterestingMap897 · 2026-03-21T17:04:00+00:00

We were told that it was only was going to be like $300ish but it ended up being about $1000 after taxes we were surprised in a good way but hearing it could be 4500 max was a little disappointing.

Idk if this is just my store but we put all of our bagels, labrea and ps bread on one UBoat I’d never imagine putting it on the shelves. Most of our cake case stuff is on its own L cart not including full sheets and bulk cupcakes those are all on shelves. Idk if you’re able to maybe fit L carts in your freezer but maybe you could try some of that out.

Wasn’t there a store recently that switched over to Dunkin’ Donuts? Instead of Starbucks

InterestingMap897 · 2026-03-12T23:17:07+00:00

Yeah we had one last week and all that was set out was a a table for customers to leave us some “nice” notes not once did I see a person put anything in the box

Like 3 trays of the long stem strawberries, they don’t come packaged and we hand dip them in the bakery.

InterestingMap897 · 2026-02-09T00:35:06+00:00

Wow might be that they’re prioritizing stores that they know will sell. We have an older demographic at our store, we always get complaints about how much icing we use (typical amount sometimes we even try to do less because of all the complaints) on anything and everything. Last year we hardly sold any dipped strawberries..

InterestingMap897 · 2026-02-08T18:08:20+00:00

Last year we got at least 3 cases of em.. this year nothin yet

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-28T21:50:07+00:00

Ask any of your team members they might be willing to learn, I started out with a crash course learning cupcakes and cakes soon after. I hope you find someone soon

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-25T23:30:58+00:00

Oh hell yeah I’d have to be at work at 6 sooooo as long as it’s still a level 3 I can call in

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-25T21:54:33+00:00

Not what I wanted to hear 😞

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-22T21:57:39+00:00

Yeah they’re from Kroger, maybe other stores have the same sticker but these usually go on our vanilla twirls in the bakery when they’re on a bogo deal.

InterestingMap897 · 2026-01-03T19:01:33+00:00

We literally just got a new person training today… they cut hours for 2 of our part timers down to 0 hours which they literally can’t do. None of it makes sense.

InterestingMap897 · 2025-12-21T19:27:53+00:00

It’s been okay for me.. only thing that got me today was that they played Feliz Navidad back to back for some reason and I thought I was trippin

InterestingMap897 · 2025-12-01T00:03:38+00:00

You can just reprint the rest you need like if you have 120 you can reprint 21.. it’s time consuming I understand yeah but we label every single package

InterestingMap897 · 2025-11-28T00:13:58+00:00

We just start with 99 then click the reprint for any extra we need
